simple bars above mobs

[Jahda]

hello all,

I would like to know if someone could tell me what addons deal with bars above mobs heads? I mean some addon that improves Blizz horrific and enormous bars.

What i would need at best would be an addon that allows to remove all informations and graphical stuff that are not exculsively "health". That means a totally minimalistic rectangle, which size and color i can configure.
What by the way would be perfect would be if i could add or replace this bar by an aggro rage. For multitanking it would be cool, as well as for aoe dpsing ^^

I used to know one addon that did that but unfortunately it never was up-to-date, and was using a lot of graphical performance.

Thanks for your help, and c u later !

You want VirtualPlates.

Actually, VirtualPlates just gives the illusion of depth. It does not alter the appearance of the plates.

I think what you want is Tidy Plates. specifically with the Clean Plates theme. It has the look I think you're looking for, and allows sizing customization and for specific units (mostly for a PvP purpose but check it out).

The bar above mobs is called a "Nameplate"

You can do a search for Nameplates on this site or:

Check out the above mentioned site. I can vouch for Vranx's site as he does a nice short writeup of each mod and then links back to the mod's host site.

Popular nameplate mods include

TidyPlates (many different layouts available)
Aloft (a bit weighty however it adds a lot of functionality to the nameplates
caelNameplates (minimalist reskin of the default NamePlates)

However there are plenty more NamePlate mods so just search on our site or check out Vranx's site.

He just copied the description found on WoWI for ncNameplates
